I find it very disciminatory.  Do you know of any disability education 
committitee that could make a ruling on my case? -- not neccessarily for $$ 
but even the lawyer thinks I have a strong case but he's unfamiliar with this 
field. The University should realize the bad guideline they have created. Me 
simply telling them doesn't do any good.
